We are thrilled to share the Call for Papers and announce the keynote speakers for the 34th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf on the theme of ‘Woolf and Dissidence’.
This year’s conference will begin with pre-conference events at King’s College London on Friday July 4th 2025: a visit to the King’s Archives and a panel discussion on ‘Virginia Woolf: Creative Engagements’ with contemporary writers and artists speaking about their multi-media engagements with Woolf’s writing. Our confirmed speakers include: Jo Hamya, Olivia Laing, and Kabe Wilson.
On Saturday July 5th 2025 the conference proper will open for registration at the University of Sussex, where we are delighted to be joined by our keynote speakers Professor Madelyn Detloff and Professor Anne Fernald.
We are planning an exciting programme of events, including a performance of Between the Acts, events to mark the centenary of Mrs Dalloway, a conversation with Kim Jones and Charlie Porter, and a house tour and conference dinner at Charleston. There will also be a post-conference visit to Monk’s House, as well as the option of visits to local exhibitions on modernism.
In response to popular demand, we have decided to extend the deadline for proposals to Friday 13th December. To find the call for papers, panels, roundtables, exhibits and other proposals, and to submit a proposal, please visit our website, featuring artwork by our conference artist, A. T. Kabe Wilson. More details will be shared in the coming weeks and months.
The Woolf conference has a long tradition of being friendly and welcoming to everyone, including students and those new to Woolf studies. If you would like to discuss an idea with us or ask any questions, please do get in touch at virginiawoolf2025@gmail.com.
